Bring reef‑safe sunscreenSun is strong year‑round; use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect skin and local marine life.

Be ready to swimSnorkeling is optional but requires basic swimming ability and comfort in open water.

Secure valuablesDeck movement and shallow swims mean phones should be stowed in waterproof cases or left ashore.

Recommended gear

Waterproof phone case or camera: Capture wildlife and snorkeling shots without risking electronics.
Light windbreaker: Even on warm days the Atlantic breeze cools on the return leg, especially in spring and fall.
